Guide overview

Before you begin

This guide shows how to remove and replace the cargo lamp assembly in a Kia Carnival. The assembly includes the bulb holder and the switch. Don't do this repair with the car parked on a slope! The ceiling clips may roll into an irretrievable area during the repair if you do. The guide is written with a 2025 Kia Carnival SX Hybrid.
